Text4DJ's Service Allows DJ's to Interact with The Crowd Like Never Before

My colleagues and I can vaguely remember back in the day when we were DJ-ing at house parties, clubs, and bars; while a drunk person would wander up to the DJ booth and start insanely requesting songs or try to get some DJ love at the WRONG TIME! Luckily, for today's performers there is a new communication tool that allows DJ's to interact with their party-goers by using text messaging on the new Text4DJs service!

My colleagues and I can vaguely remember back in the day when we were DJ-ing at house parties, clubs, and bars; while a drunk person would wander up to the DJ booth and start insanely requesting songs or try to get some DJ love at the WRONG TIME! Luckily, for today's performers there is a new communication tool that allows DJ's to interact with their party-goers by using text messaging on the new Text4DJs service! It's simple really...All the DJ has to do is sign up for the service and that DJ will be able to get an alias to be used on a short code for all text communications. All of the patrons will be able to request songs or give shout-outs simply by text-ing the short code plus the DJ alias which will allow them to send their message.

DJs can take song requests and shout-outs via text message while DJing and interact with the crowd!
